Photographic observations were obtained in 1981-1993 with the Zeiss Double Wide Angle Astrograph (D/F = 40/300, 69"/mm) at the Kitab observatory of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
Digitizing of photographic plates has been carried out with the help of Epson Expression 10000XL scanner with 16-bit gray levels and resolution of 1200 dpi. Images of all objects registered on plates were processed using the advanced software complex for CCD images processing MIDAS/ROMAFOT in the LINUX environment. Additional software modules, developed and implemented in MAO NASU, provide both the digit-ized images processing and the final product as a catalog of positions and stellar magnitudes of all registered objects [1, 2].
The processing of the digitized Northern Sky Survey (FON project) observations resulted in a few catalogs of coordinates and B-magnitudes for more than 19 million stars and galaxies from the FON-Kyiv part and more than 13 million stars and galaxies from the FON-Kitab part [3]. Based on data from the FON-Kitab processing, the catalog of 2728 topocentric positions and B-magnitudes of asteroids and comets have been compiled. Asteroid coordinates and B-magnitudes were obtained in the Tycho-2 reference catalog system and the system of photoelectric standards, respectively. The contents of the catalog and data analysis are presented in detail in a published article [4].
Those images of asteroids that were fixed on photographic plates in the immediate vi-cinity of images of stars from the Gaia DR2 catalog were excluded from the compiled catalog. We considered them to be ambiguous identifications of asteroid images.
The observations were carried out with both telescope tubes, so two plates with the same center were exposed simultaneously. As a result, 1412 asteroid positions are paired in the catalog, and the remaining 1316 positions are single. For paired positions, the mean values of equatorial coordinates, B-magnitudes, and their root-mean-square errors are given. The RMS errors of equatorial coordinates and B-magnitudes of asteroids averaged over the stellar magnitude intervals are presented in the following figures. A histogram of the O-C differences for all asteroid positions is shown also.
